Volunteers donned their uniforms and joined forces to conduct a spring-clean of the Grand Union canal tow path near the Ballot Box bridge by Horsenden Hill farm.
Steve Haskett recorded the day and told us:
''The Canal and River trust had been asked by Horsenden Hill's Wood Craftsman Tom Bickerdike, who often moors his boat on that section, if they would support a volunteer litter picking day and they duly arrived with bags, gloves and picking sticks plus a working barge to collect the rubbish and take it away.
Over 20 people turned up and filled many bags and also found various miscellaneous rubbish including gas bottles, old chairs, a mattress and used needles, which were very carefully collected in a special box!
Litter was carefully divided into recycling and general waste.
''It was a glorious sunny spring day and a good, productive, satisfying time was had by all.''
